Ghosts & Spirits

Ghosts & Spirits                                                             Back to Ghost Information
I have contemplated much about ghosts, spirits and how they could come to be.  What are they?  My
first inclination is that everything is spirit, so to say both of the words,
ghosts and spirits in the same
sentence, may sound contradictory.  However, I think to differentiate between them for
understanding of the human “condition,” is most important.

Many witnesses of a death-bed, have reported the dying person seeing deceased loved ones
waiting for them, prior to their passing.  When one passes (the physical body dies), they are typically
greeted by loved ones, friends, guides, etc, that assist them in the crossing-over experience.  It is
believed that their presence, wisdom and love helps to calm the dying person while relieving some
fear of what is to come.  Most
near death experiences share this common thread, as well as a
reported presence of light and peace.  A tunnel of light is typically experienced, either before or
after these guiding loved ones are met.  After the “reunion” with loved ones, a life-review occurs,
followed by the person gravitating to the level (of light or darkness) that matches the maturity, or
condition of their soul.  I say, “soul,” because I now understand the
soul to be the individual.  As all
of us are (and everything is) comprised of spirit, (all existing
within spirit and spirit existing within all -
a
part of the whole of spirit, that is God), the soul is just another word for that individual spirit within
spirit.  One could equate the word soul as the spirit, person, or mind, within the greater spirit, person
or mind - which is God.  There really is no difference between a soul and spirit, as it is just “word
play” for better understanding of the individual
within the infinite spirit.  We might also envision
ourselves as thoughts moving within the mind of God.  In that light, all individuals could be summed
up as being thoughts, ideas, feelings, and memories within the whole
that is God’s mind, if you will.

The realm of spirit, or “
spirit world,” consists of many planes of existence, of which I will try and
describe what I feel is most plausible.  I believe there is at least one, but maybe two or more, levels
of darkness.  Some would call these, “
hells.”  They are temporary places that mirror the condition of
a soul lost within the self-created prison of the mind.  The earth plane would run parallel to these
lowest levels, which would most likely account for why we do indeed experience (lower level) ghosts
in our world from time to time.  I envision that there are most likely infinite levels of heavens or
planes of light that are also
equal to the condition of one’s inner condition.  Heavens would be a
higher place of understanding, enlightenment or being.  Therefore, the goal of all will be to ever
ascend, and ever grow, while descending only to assist others in
ascending out of darkness to join
them.  We will find that all is connected and one, and that peace, love, joy and truth will be known.  
All of these spirits of light will most likely share in the task of bringing the whole of creation into the
light of this peace, joy, love and truth.

I will use the word “spirits” to indicate those who exist in, and visit from, the other side of “light.”  
Spirits could be loved ones such as family members, friends, unknown people, spirit guides, angels,
etc., that come to visit people on this side of the grave for a purpose.  What purpose might they
have?  I have come to believe that all of us are surrounded by spirits who speak to us messages of
guidance, encouragement and love.  Also, spirits may come to observe, watch over, and share
experiences with us on this earthly plane.  These individuals, or spirits, come from a higher place of
understanding, thus living in light which is truth.  This enlightenment is present in their countenance
and presence.  An enlightened spirit will be light and always bring a presence of peace and joy.  If a
message is delivered, then it is received from an angel.  “Angel” means “messenger,” thus anyone
that brings a message may be considered a messenger.

In contrast, ghosts are individuals who
have not undergone the tunnel of light experience or life
review.  Their condition is one of darkness or
lack of understanding, as they struggle with the
present, past or future fears.  Yet, other ghosts have been witnessed to be non-interactive with the
physical world.  Could this “residual-haunting” be recordings of prior events on the environment
somehow, or could they just be disembodied people who are in the lowest depths of hell, completely
lost in their mind through tragic events of the past?  Could some ghosts even be unaware that their
physical body has passed?  Most ghosts have attachments to this world, such as emotional trauma,
unfinished business, and fears that have held them to an existence among the physical world.  This
self-created prison, no matter what the reason, must be undone in them.  If possible, those of us
who are embodied need to speak peace and blessing to ghosts, should we encounter them.  We
can ask their loved ones to assist them as we speak words of comfort to them.  Many ghosts seek
only acknowledgement of their existence.  They need to know that turning toward the light (and
loved ones) will bring peace, love and joy to them…that there is no eternal damnation and that
facing the future is a positive thing.  Hell, or darkness, can only be a place to work through lack of
understanding, traumas, negative emotions and other mis-thinkings contrary to truth.  Truth is light,
and light removes darkness.  Certainly, loved ones on the other side will assist ghosts in getting free
from such ignorance and help them in ascending toward freedom.  Does love know any boundary?  
Can love overcome all obstacles in life?  Surely it can, and surely would those who are enlightened
assist those who are lost and suffering, due to a lack of love and wisdom.

Knowing a ghost is one that has not gone to the light and progressed through the life review, could it
be that ghosts are the shadow people (
dark shadows) we have photographed?  Could darkness,
represented in shadow ghosts, indicate the inner condition of an individual, such as hatred, anger,
lack of knowledge, being lost, void of truth, etc?  I must state that just because a shadow ghost is
dark and lacking light does not mean it is bad or evil; and ghosts that
are behaving badly are still
only people who are hurting and have lost their way in life.  They have sought hiding in darkness,
and fear coming forth to the light, which will expose their deeds.  Light always indicates
enlightenment, wisdom, knowledge – truth.  Therefore, could light anomalies that many have
captured in photographs, such as
orbs, energy, ectoplasm mists, etc, also be indicative of the
condition of spirits that have come to us from the light?  Have they come to our plane to observe,
bring a message, guide, or protect us?
